Leaves are silvery gray with a thin, fine network of darkly plum-colored veins covering them. The colors are brightest in spring, when the contrast of the leaf colors is greatest. In winter the dark veins turn to violet. Planted where the leaves are black-lit by the rising or setting sun, the whole leaf looks reddish. Like other coral bells this is tolerant of heat and humidity, and will withstand some drought, though it prefers water during long dry spells. Deer will not eat it, making it a good choice for woodland or exposed gardens. Grows well in USDA Zones 4-9. |
